All, Sorry if this is well-known but I searched through the list archives and didn't find anything on point.
In short, ksh93 is masking off the upper bits of my hex numbers where ksh88 did not. My question is, is this by design? A bug? A LOCALE issue? If it's configurable, how do I get the old behavior back? ksh88 example: % typeset -i16 HEX=16#ffffffffffffff % print $HEX 16#ffffffffffffff ksh93 example: % typeset -i16 HEX=16#ffffffffffffff % print $HEX 16#7fffffff <<---- masked to lower 31-bits ... not what I want! __ Patrick
